Talk about going back to Atlanta for the second time this season…

“This race is really a chess match and all about putting yourself in the right position after the final pit stop. It seems like the last few times, you can make some moves early on, but late in the race, everyone is right up against the wall, and it makes it really difficult to pass. That’s what happened to us in the first race when we finished eighth, so hopefully we can put ourselves in the right spot and be in position to try to make a move in the last few laps this time.”
